Stable and metastable states in mean-field Potts and structural glasses

Kirkpatrick, T. R., Wolynes, P. G.·1987·Physical Review B

Abstract

Recent static and dynamical work suggest a close analogy between spin glasses with discontinuous Edwards-Anderson order parameter and structural glasses. The mean-field dynamical spin-glass theory predicts freezing above the usual thermodynamic transition temperature. Here we use the approach of Thouless, Anderson, and Palmer for Potts glasses to show that the dynamical approach locates a thermodynamically metastable glassy state. We also give divergent correlation lengths as both the static and dynamical transition temperatures are approached. We argue that the static transition is analogous to an ideal glass transition temperature in the structural glass problem. We also argue that the static transition temperature can be identified as the temperature at which the configurational entropy vanishes, i.e., the Kauzmann temperature. Dynamical transitions between the metastable states are discussed. We argue that divergent lifetimes occur near the Kauzmann temperature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
